Timber'rrrr No Longer

Bunyan, the Paul Had nothing on me at all I raised my axe to split some wood It wouldn’t split as it normally should I tried again, and again It’s then I felt the pain The lower back for this old sage Had finally given out for my advanced age Oh there comes a time, yes there comes a time When words don’t matter and they don’t rhyme When after the words and I shouted “ouch” I went in and headed for the couch There’ll be no more wood split today I told my wife from across the way I looked at the TV & reached for the remote Even if there was an election today I wouldn’t vote Into my head I said a few thoughts I’d like the wood chopped by that there robot I’m not a robot my wife loudly said And proceeded to bonk me on my forehead So here I sit writing on this ‘puter I bought my wife chocolates to finally soothe her I shall no longer chop the wood with a rage And finally realize that I had come of age
